 Canadian Fishing Licenses
          If we decide to go to Canada and fish for 2009, we will have to go over to Pelee Island and get your licenses there.  I will go over the procedure on the boat and have you fill out the fishing license application on the boat in the morning before we leave the dock.

Tips?

  No, tips are not required, but if you believe that the captain gave you a good day (not only a big box or limit of fish), but worked hard to give you a good day, a tip is appropriate.  Generally a 10% to 15% tip is customary.

What happens if we limit out early?
    If we limit out early (which happens frequently), we usually will catch and release on the walleye or switch over to other species if we have bait and have time to fish for them.  Or if you want, we can call it a good day on the lake and go in. 

Smoking

    Smoking is allowed.  Please refrain from smoking under the hard top and please make sure you take care of your cigarette butts.

Number of People allowed on the Boat
   You can have up to 6 people on the boat in your party, this does not include your captain and mate.  Please do not ask to bring more then six. This voids my insurance and is strictly against Coast Guard regulations.  A mate is a hired hand and has to be in a Coast Guard drug-approved program.

Can you pick us up at Put-In-Bay?
